I commute daily on NJ highways, and in early morning on the Garden State Parkway, which is a 65mph limit, the slow Lane averages 75 and the fast lane 85. It's fast, but fairly sane, as the high schoolers, blue hairs and raging soccer moms aren't out yet.
Our speed limits were set when cars had drum bakes and didn't have seat belts. They are anachronisms, arbitrarily enforced, with state revenue as much a goal as safety today.
That being said, in- town limits for Residential and business areas should be strictly enforced, and strictly adhered to.
As for spirited motorcycle riding on empty, rural roads at off hours, I use my judgement, and I'm not remotely a stickler for the speed limit.
